LX Era
Device setup
Document name: LX EUM
Document revision: R1
The Pilot sub-menu holds all of the pilot and copilot related information. Each pilot profile is
at the same time the user profile to which all user settings are saved to, as discussed in the
introductory part of the Device setup sub-section.
In order to create a new pilot profile, select the ’Active pilot’ field and choose ’EMPTY’. Now,
set the name, surname, mass and reserve values for your profile. As soon as you type in your
name, your new pilot profile will be saved to the pilot list. You can choose the ’EMPTY’ slot
again to create yet a new pilot profile.
One can select a pilot profile either in the initial setup, as noted Turning the Era on sub-section,
or by choosing it in this sub-menu. Once a pilot profile has been selected, all changes made
will be saved to the selected pilot profile, unless Club mode is engaged, and this pilot’s profile
settings will be used for the current flight.
NOTE
Pilot and Copilot name and surname are written into the declaration of the IGC
flight, so be sure to have the correct information if badge, record or competition
flights are planned.
NOTE
The pilot and copilot masses are used for calculating wing-loading and the
adjustments made to the aircraft polar, used for calculation of final glide, so great
care should be taken to insert the correct information.
This page also houses the ’Club profile’ checkbox (additional info in Club mode sub-section),
as well as the options for Importing, Exporting and deleting a pilot profile. Exporting and
Importing a pilot profile will save not only the information in this sub-menu, but all settings in
the User part of the Setup menu.
NOTE
The reserve altitude is used for FG (Final Glide) calculation. If the device calculates
an arrival altitude of 350m, and the reserve altitude is set to 200m, the FG, which
will be displayed on all navigation pages and in the FG NavBox will be 150m.
WARNING
Due to the direct impact of Reserve altitude on the final glide calculation, always
make sure prior to take-off that the Reserve altitude is set to a value you are
comfortable with. Pilot, copilot and ballast mass also influence the FG
calculation, but to a comparatively lesser degree to the Reserve altitude setting.
